Wuzi Xian Hao is produced in the valley of Qinling Mountains in Xixiang County, Hanzhong City, Shanxi province. Qinling Mountains are well-known as the hometown of the tea where the ecological environment is very superior. The annual average temperature is 14.7℃ and with a rainfall amount of 1000mm to 1500mm. The altitude is from 600 meters to 1200 meters, and the soil is slightly acidic with a very high percentage of organic substances. Also, since the tea plantation locates in the north-south area of China where the north and south climates are combined, tea trees there are growing extraordinary lush because of the freshest air and the most fertile soil, which help Wuzi Xian Hao grow up with plenty of useful elements that are good for your body such as zinc, selenium and so on.
Origin: Shanxi
Our Wuzi Xian Hao is ‘Mingqian’ tea. Mingqian tea refers to the tea plucked before The Pure Brightness (April 4th, 5th, or 6th). Tea workers only pick the tea tree buds that just emerged in spring. The tea picked during this period is the tenderest with a touch of scent. Since the slow growth, the Mingqian tea is made of nearly 100% of the most tender buds. Due to the low temperature before The Pure Brightness, the number of tea buds is very limited, and the growth rate is quite low, hence the yield of tea under the strict picking standard is very small. As a result, there is a saying that goes ‘Mingqian teas are as expensive as gold’.

Brewed in Gaiwan, bottom drop. 2024 lot.
Fresh and quite weighty, it has a smooth, silky throat feeling. Less nutty than some first flush green tea, it produces quite a comforting and quaffable soup with a lingering sweetness.
Amelie –
Slightly nutty, but mostly just light and fragrant.

The gorgeous green leaves create a fresh flavour that tastes like mild chestnut. The leaves are beautiful to watch when brewing as they seem to dance in the water.
